Designer Whey Review + Giveaway

Disclaimer: I was provided two Designer Whey canisters to review as part of my affiliation with FitFluential. As always, all opinions expressed on my blog are 100% my own.

I love smoothies! I enjoy putting a bunch of delicious ingredients into my blender, blending away, and tasting the sweet rewards of my experiment. Having an excellent protein powder to add into the mix only makes my smoothies better in terms of taste and a punch of healthy.

Smoothies are incredibly easy to make in the morning and just bring along with me, where I happen to be going for the day - work, shopping, garden, or just to the deck to enjoy my lovely summer. I especially had a lot of fun making some fun smoothies with Designer Whey Sustained Energy Protein Powder.

The first smoothie I decided to make was a Cherry Vanilla Protein Smoothie. I had a little bit of my cherry juice left over, so I added it to my almond milk and Vanilla Bean Designer Whey Sustained Energy Powder. The flavor was sweet and rich and quite filling

The second smoothie I made was a Green Protein Smoothie. I love green smoothies very much. They are packed full of vitamins, which made complete sense to me to add it with the Vanilla Bean Designer Whey, which would only results in an even healthier green smoothie. Ingredients: handful of kale, coconut water, banana, and Vanilla Bean Designer Whey.*Hint: Blend the kale and coconut water for a few minutes prior to adding everything else, especially if you have a regular blender like I do. This gave a chunk-free green smoothie and that I could not get enough of!

I'm a huge fan of anything peanut butter and chocolate. When I found powdered peanut butter, I fell in love because I could continue with my love of peanut butter without all of those calories. When I added the PB2 to the Chocolate Velvet Designer Whey Sustained Energy and almond milk, I had another smoothie winner.

I'm not doing any long runs right now, but Ward is still in his peak marathon training. And since I'm the best wife, I almost always make him some kind of baked good for him to eat when he comes back from his long runs. Last night he and his running guys went on their 20-miler, and I made sure I had something yummy and delicious waiting for him - Designer Whey Protein Zucchini Bread. I had some extra batter, so I made myself and the kids some mini muffins which we enjoyed eating before he came home. The Vanilla Bean Designer Whey Protein Powder gave these muffins a powerful pack of protein and a great vanilla flavor. Since I was adding in protein powder, I reduced the amount of flour and I omitted the vanilla and reduced the sugar. Other than that, I just followed the recipe for a zucchini bread.

Several years ago, well, 12 years, 6 months and 8 days ago, my life changed forever and left a gaping whole in my heart. My mom died from small cell lung cancer. The type of cancer one gets from years of smoking and damaging their body. As a child, I feared that day would come. I hated thinking about it... losing my mom to smoking. I would push those thoughts down way deep with hopes that my greatest fears would never come true.

Then it came, September 15th. My dad called me at work to let me know that they had been to a doctor and that the pneumonia the doctors thought she had was actually lung cancer. The doctor had given her three to six months to live. In actuality, she died less than a month after diagnosis.

Runners need happy feet. I think the nail polish really adds the happy touch on my feet because we know they definitely are not pretty!
Needing happy feet means sometimes we need to take extra measures to take care of them. Profoot could be the perfect place for you to turn for your foot needs. I was contacted by Profoot a bit ago to try out some of their products. I was happy to do so and Izzy, of course, was pleased to be my little model for the photo shoot. First up - The 2 oz Miracle orthotics

These are great! I cut them to size. Trust me, this is easy because all you had to do is cut along the lines. They are incredibly thin and easy to fit in just about any shoe.
